8th Anniversary-Trip to Mexico


Adam and I knew before last year even came to a close that we were going to be in serious need of a vacation this summer. That was providing Henley would be at a place in her recovery that we would feel good about leaving her for a few days with one of our mothers. At the end of April we revisited the idea of a vacation and decided to go ahead and book a trip along with travel insurance so that we could cancel up until the day before we left for any reason. We were so excited to go once the time arrived and we truly had the most wonderful and relaxing vacation we have ever had....with the exception of one little hitch.

After a great first day at the resort, we got back to the room and tried to get internet access. Once we did I had a message from my dad asking us to call home as soon as possible. Right as I read that, I knew something had happened. We immediately called home and spoke to my parents who were staying here with our kids. Apparently Henley had had a minor seizure during the day while my mom was here with all three of the kids by herself. My sweet mother was so caught off guard and it scared her half to death to see Henley like that. Every time that she has had a seizure I have been the one with her. I am so used to the warning signs and apparently i failed to mention those to her as well as what to do in case of a seizure. It all ended up fine, but it was just one of those moments that we had a moment of question if we had done the right thing.

After going through with my parents the warning signs, and protocol if it were to happen again, we felt better about things and were able to wake up the next morning and get back to vacationing. We went to the El Dorado Royale Casita Suites and had the most amazing time. Here are some pictures from our wonderful 5 days in Mexico.

A Case of the Monday's

If you have not read Part 1 and Part 2 of this please scroll down to get the whole story: Monday in the hospital was particularly challenging, and had its own set of problems to be worked through. Adam had been originally scheduled to leave on Tuesday morning for a business trip to China for 10 days. I am not sure if you have flown lately, but they generally don't let you "take a rain check" or transfer your ticket to someone else the day before you are to leave. This presented quite a problem since it was pretty apparent that we were not going to be leaving the hospital anytime soon. Because Adam works for my dad we had the luxury of letting him figure out how all that was going to work. If you know my dad, you know that if anyone can get something done that most people can't....its him. So sure enough, about midway through the day he called to tell us that not only was Adam going to be able to stay here, but that my dad was going to go to China in his place so tha...

This Week

Well this week is pretty much explained by pictures so here we go. This is the preemie outfit we bought to take Haven home from the hospital in, however, she is now 4 weeks old and its still so big it just swallows her. I think it was not true to size personally. Anyways, I think she looks so stinkin' cute in this thing. Its her "back to school" outfit. Look at those sleeves! She looks like she is jumping So this was the hardest day of our lives as parents so far. I got a very disturbing phone call from our pediatrician on Tuesday morning saying that her newborn screening came back with an "abnormality in her hemoglobin". She said that she needed to check Haven immediately (as in TODAY) for a possible blood disorder. She said they were going to check it against 600 possibilities. NOT what any first time mom (or any mom for that matter) wants to hear about their child. So needless to say I was a complete mess, Adam had to come home from work in the middle of the ...
